1. "Price Tag" expands operations to embassies?
Muayyad ,   Palestine   (09.14.10)
I like where this is going - at least the US, EU et. al will really start to see who is against peace and that is the Israeli fanatical government.
2. Perhaps Tel Avivian Settlers will wake up & smell the coffee

and realize that it's not only Yehuda and Shomron and Jerusalem who the terrorists are after.
3. THE SWEDISH EMBASSY WHEN FINLAND HAS THE PRO-ISRAEL DEMOS??

WE'RE DEALING WITH AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT WHO HAS NO CONCEPT WHATEVER OF UP OR DOWN OR IN FRONT AND BEHIND.
4. To 2 & 3 ; simple detective work

would lead you to deduce that the terrorist who sent the envelopes is indeed bearded but wears tfilin. The targets of the attack have long bee associated by the fanatical religious-nationalist right as enemies of Israel: Obama (American embassy), Sweden (Liberman's rants against them), and Spain (large recent media reports about 1/3 Spaniards being anti-Semitic) It doesn't take a genius to figure out who would be behind such an operation

It could be that places like finland or georgia just have less security. But another reason would be that Spain already a strong anti-semetic country (i mean with most its public anti-semetic) is the most vulnerable politically. Say if those attacks would happen a few more time on the Spanish embassy then many Spanish people would say something like "fuck Israel why do we need that pile of dirt? we don't need to get people killed for a country we don't like anyway so lets close relations with Israel". Spain had already been a target for Islamic terror in the past and it proved VERY effective on the Spanish public. As for Sweden... They are pretty much on the middle, no too much pro-Israel but not so much anti so who knows. Maybe the terrorist happens to be a dane and just hates sweden personally. Who knows. As for USA obama or not, their strongly pro Israel. Also the numbers of Jewish radicals up for doing stuff like that is relatively small. On the other hand there's never to little Angry Arabs or other anti-semetic radicals.
